Primorsky Territory of Russia will soon host the first in our country rehabilitation centre for rare species of predator animals. The centre will cover 2.7 hectares of Nadezhdinsky region and will be far from any human settlements.
      
      The centre is aimed at helping animals, who were in trouble, to recover before returning to their natural habitat. Such rehabilitation will, help, for instance, tiger cubs, which lost their mothers, to return to taiga. Today such cubs usually spend the rest of their life in zoos.
      
      Scientists developed a special rehabilitation programme for training little tigers to live in natural environments. The centre will provide necessary facilities for a long-term process of maximum isolation of these animals form human beings and learning how to behave in nature. Researchers believe that young tigers, born in zoos, could also find their place in natural environments with the help of this programme.
